What Will Happen If A Child Happens To Swallow A Disinfectant?
Hello, My 10 month old put a travel size Lysol can in his mouth. He got the lid off and put the pray cap in his mouth. It did not spray but I m not sure if there was some residue on the spray cap. If there was, it would have gotten in his mouth. We gave him lots of fluids and have been watching him. What should we do? What should we look for?

Hello. I just read through your question. The amount we are talking about is completely non-toxic. giving him the fluids was a good idea as a precaution. Nothing else is really necessary. the worst that would happen is a little headache, which would be demonstrated by some mild irritability. However, it is unlikely he will even experience that. You have nothing to worry about.
